It's been hell trying to build and/or run that target (see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1452128 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1452128 )
This is especially important if considering use as a low-end desktop as Chromium will eat through 4GB of ram like it's nobody's business.
